  Speaker 1: only stolen three or four from one of our guests

  Speaker 1: today and Simon. I also over the weekend was making
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: some futures bets. I found a bet two bets that
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: I don't think are on your list. I think they're
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: definitely on one of our guest lists, but I don't

• 1:33

• 2:46
  Speaker 5: He wasn't producing then before we were Action Network. When
• 2:49
  Speaker 5: we first started, we were Sportsaction dot Io and the app,
• 2:55
  Speaker 5: and we had a podcast on there called Degen and Juice.
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: It was a really bad producer who yeah, missed, missed
• 3:04
  Speaker 5: a lot of our episodes just wouldn't show up, and
• 3:07
  Speaker 5: it was we upgraded there significantly. Not to give too
• 3:11
  Speaker 5: much credit to Matt Mitchell, but yeah, Di, Jen and
• 3:13
  Speaker 5: Juice was our original podcast, and then we have smoothly
• 3:18
  Speaker 5: transitioned to Big Bets on campus since so really the
• 3:21
  Speaker 5: eighth year together previewing college football and uh, it's a
• 3:26
  Speaker 5: labor of love, and now the sport has certainly evolved since.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Well listen. Uh. One of the first things I listened
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: to when I decided to ditch ESPN and join what
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: was not even yet the Action Network because we hadn't
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: come up with a name and didn't have a staff
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: or employees or an office or anything, was did Jen
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: and Juice with you and Colin? And I remember I
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: listened to it. I was in my kitchen. I took
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: out my AirPods. I said to my wife, I go,
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: I can't believe I bet my career on some dude
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: On and Juice, on some dude whose name I don't
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: even know, that they call Stucky, and another dude whose
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: real job is like some kind of engineer consultant. I
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: don't even know what he does, but this is where
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: we are, and look where we are. As a reminder,

  Speaker 6: one entry per person? Come on, you already knew the

  Speaker 6: answer to that one. Am I eligible to participate in
• 8:19
  Speaker 6: this contest? That's a great question. If you are a
• 8:22
  Speaker 6: US resident, if you're at least twenty one years old
• 8:25
  Speaker 6: right now today, and if you live in Washington, DC,
• 8:29
  Speaker 6: or any American state except Rhode Island or Washington State,
• 8:33
  Speaker 6: congrats you're eligible to participate and win cash prizes. Matt,
• 8:38
  Speaker 6: Why can't I play if I'm only nineteen years old,
• 8:40
  Speaker 6: or if I live in Washington State or Rhode Island
• 8:43
  Speaker 6: or Sri Lanka.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: Or Serbia or whatever.
• 8:45
  Speaker 6: Dude, I have no idea.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: Those are the rules.
• 8:48
  Speaker 6: I'm not an attorney. If you're upset, contact your Attorney
• 8:52
  Speaker 6: general or your ambassador or Judge Judy or whatever. Don't
• 8:55
  Speaker 6: complain to me. I have no control over it. I'm
• 8:58
  Speaker 6: just a man trying to give away one hundred thousand dollars.
• 9:01
  Speaker 6: Can I change my pecks after I've made them? Yes,
• 9:04
  Speaker 6: you can change your pecks as many times as you
• 9:06
  Speaker 6: want until one pm on Sundays. You get a confirmation
• 9:09
  Speaker 6: email every time you confirm your picks. And remember when
• 9:13
  Speaker 6: you sign up, use an email that you actually check.
• 9:16
  Speaker 6: Use an email that you actually check, because it's the
• 9:19
  Speaker 6: only way we can contact you. If you win a
• 9:22
  Speaker 6: cash prize, do the lines in the contest change? Yes,
• 9:26
  Speaker 6: The spreads in the contest will move with the market,
• 9:29
  Speaker 6: So if you make picks on say a Thursday, and
• 9:31
  Speaker 6: want to change any one of your pecks on Sunday,
• 9:34
  Speaker 6: you must make all five of your picks again at
• 9:37
  Speaker 6: whatever the current spreads are. And remember there are no
• 9:40
  Speaker 6: pushes in the contest. These are contest lines, so they'll
• 9:44
  Speaker 6: all be half point lines. Your pecks win or they lose.
• 9:48
  Speaker 6: What about ties? Each week there is a tiebreaker question.
• 9:52
  Speaker 6: It will almost always be total passing yards On Monday
• 9:56
  Speaker 6: Night Football. Each week there is a one thousand dollar
• 10:00
  Speaker 6: weekly prize. Like Chad said, to win it, you probably
• 10:04
  Speaker 6: need to go five and oh and get very close
• 10:06
  Speaker 6: to the tiebreaker. If you go five and oh and
• 10:08
  Speaker 6: you nail the tiebreaker exactly, that prize becomes two thousand dollars,
• 10:12
  Speaker 6: and if after the tiebreaker, two or more entries are
• 10:16
  Speaker 6: still tied, the winner is the entry who submitted first
• 10:20
  Speaker 6: and for the season long contest, and that fight for
• 10:23
  Speaker 6: the forty thousand dollars first place prize. Season long contest
• 10:27
  Speaker 6: tiebreaker is your total tiebreaker differential over the course of
• 10:30
  Speaker 6: the season, So if you want the best chance at
• 10:33
  Speaker 6: the big money, please take the tiebreaker seriously. And finally,
• 10:38
  Speaker 6: are there any weird exceptions that I should know about? Yes,
• 10:41
  Speaker 6: there is one. We will drop your lowest weekly score
• 10:45
  Speaker 6: after week five. So if let's say you sign up today,
• 10:49
  Speaker 6: you make your picks every week, and then one week
• 10:51
  Speaker 6: between week one and week five, you absolutely each shit
• 10:54
  Speaker 6: and you go one and four or zero and five.
• 10:57
  Speaker 6: Don't worry dry your eyes because everyone's lowest score is
• 11:01
  Speaker 6: a race from the contest after week five concludes, and
• 11:05
  Speaker 6: after that point it's a race to the finish.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: That's it.
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: Folks, go to Favorites dot action network dot.
• 11:11
  Speaker 6: Com to sign up, and I wish everyone the best
• 11:13
  Speaker 6: of block.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: Thank you did a nice job there. We haven't even
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: announced the contest. We've already got hundreds of people signed up.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: We had a huge goal last year, big hairy goal.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: I think we wanted to get to like four thousand.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: We got to twelve. Let's see what we can do
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: with a bigger show this year. More listeners giving away
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: one hundred grand if you're listening to the show, you
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: like to bet favorites dot actionnetwork dot com. All right, finally,
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: like college football this year. We had a great start
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: this past weekend. I have questions about Florida State. People
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: seem to love to hate Florida State. But before we
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: even get to that, I know Simon is like chomping
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: at the bit to ask about the playoff. Simon, we'll
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: talk about playoffs? You kidding me? Playoff?
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: My guy Stucky, who loves it well to anyone else?
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: I know? My man's always doing college football, college basketball? Stucky?
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: How do you feel about the college playoffs? Brother? Is this?
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: Do you love it? You hate it? Are you going
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: to miss the way it was or are you just
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: going to embrace the change and see what it's going
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: to become.
• 12:20
  Speaker 5: I personally love it first of all, Like it doesn't
• 12:23
  Speaker 5: matter what the as a better, it doesn't matter what.
• 12:25
  Speaker 5: Just tell me what the poeman is tell me who's playing,
• 12:27
  Speaker 5: and we'll try to find some winners. But I actually
• 12:30
  Speaker 5: think it's going to add more excitement. It'll make conference
• 12:32
  Speaker 5: championship weekend more exciting, more meaningful. The gap between you know,
• 12:37
  Speaker 5: conference championship weekend and then the next meaningful college football
• 12:41
  Speaker 5: game shrinks. There's going to be some games that don't
• 12:44
  Speaker 5: mean as much at the epp or echelon of teams
• 12:46
  Speaker 5: like you can afford to drop a game, But overall,
• 12:49
  Speaker 5: I think it's going to increase the amount of meaningful games. Right,
• 12:52
  Speaker 5: and you have this group of five race for that
• 12:55
  Speaker 5: that highest strength team to get in. So I personally
• 12:58
  Speaker 5: love it. I think it's going to be exciting. From
• 12:59
  Speaker 5: a betting perspective. I am looking forward to this to
• 13:04
  Speaker 5: make or miss a playoff market, Curious to see how
• 13:08
  Speaker 5: often this market stays up and is up throughout the season.
• 13:12
  Speaker 5: I would imagine it gets updated weekly, new market for
• 13:15
  Speaker 5: odds makers too, so there could be some opportunity there
• 13:18
  Speaker 5: after teams lose. So I'm looking forward to breaking that
• 13:21
  Speaker 5: down because in the past it was just like, all right,
• 13:24
  Speaker 5: it's one of these you know, these five teams are
• 13:26
  Speaker 5: gonna be the you know, one of these five teams
• 13:28
  Speaker 5: are all going to make the four spots, and it's
• 13:29
  Speaker 5: gonna be one of these two teams that make the
• 13:31
  Speaker 5: collegeball playoff. Like the futures market really wasn't intriguing in
• 13:36
  Speaker 5: college football, but now with this make a playoff market,
• 13:41
  Speaker 5: I think it just adds a lot of intrigues. So
• 13:42
  Speaker 5: I'm looking forward to it. The one thing I'm not
• 13:45
  Speaker 5: is just from a pure workload perspective. You know, I
• 13:48
  Speaker 5: do college basketball too. Football, they just keep extending seasons
• 13:52
  Speaker 5: like the NFL is probably gonna add a game. College
• 13:54
  Speaker 5: football is going longer, so that overlap with college basketball
• 13:57
  Speaker 5: gets more difficult. So yeah, trying to figure that out
• 14:01
  Speaker 5: is going to be a logistical nightmare. But it is
• 14:03
  Speaker 5: what it is. It's a labor of love, So I'm
• 14:06
  Speaker 5: looking forward to it.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: Colin, Should we assume that the SEC and the Big
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: ten teams are the favorites to win the college football
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: title and advance in the College Football Playoffs and dominate
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: the entries in the college football playoffs?
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: Absolutely, Listen.
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: We didn't need twelve teams to figure out who's the
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: best and should compete for the national championship. We were
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: doing fine with four, everybody knew the fifth seed can
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: never win the national title. That's my only complaint. The
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: one thing that I love about this is that now
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: we have meaningful games that are happening before Christmas. Because
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: both season was essentially broken. Everybody was opting out, coaches
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: were on their way. It interrupted the recruiting cycle that
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: coaches were more focused on the portals mixed in there.
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: I mean, college football is just a mess right now
• 14:51
  Speaker 4: with the schedule. So I am happy that we have
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: meaningful games before Christmas, meaningful games on New Year's Day,
• 14:57
  Speaker 4: and then we continue into the NFL playoffs. I love
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: it from the excitement perspective. To me, the Big Ten
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: in the SEC, now that they've grown, they're just going
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: to gobble up everything else acc Big Twelve. I don't
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: think the Big Twelve is going to produce any national
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: championship contender whatsoever, although I do think it's the most
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: exciting conference out of the Power four the SEC. In
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: the Big Ten, I expect to take all the spots
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: in the semi final. But I will say this about
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: the College Ruble Playoff. With these new rule changes, there
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: is an opportunity to gamble, and I'm going to say
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: right now that the fifth seed, whoever gets the fifth seed,
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: they are automatically going to the semi finals, because if
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: you think about it, the Big ten and the SEC
• 15:37
  Speaker 4: are so good. One of them is going to fill
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: the fifth seed, and then the ACC and the Big
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: twelve are going to fill the three and four. So
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: if you're the five seed, you're going to get to
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: host a group of five team spread's gonna be like
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: twenty four, and then you're going to play the conference
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: champion from the Big twelve or the ACC. You're going
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: to be favored again as a five seed from the
• 15:55
  Speaker 4: SEC or the Big Ten. The five seed to me
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: is in the penthouse. Whoever you can determine it's going
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: to be in that spot. That's a national title future
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: I'm going to make once we know what the playoff is,
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: all right.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: A lot of conversation about Oregon top three in the
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: country according to the AP, top twenty five, their third,
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: Ohio state second all of both of them behind Georgia.
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: So you've got SEC, Big ten, Big Ten, including a
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: new entry to the Big Ten Oregon. A lot of
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: people say they could be the best team in the
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: Big Ten. Meanwhile, Ohio State has basically spent twenty million
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: dollars to build a super team. Colin, if I'm not mistaken,
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: I believe you went to media Days for the Big Ten?
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: Did you not? Am? I am? I not remembering that right?
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: When you come out of media Days. When you come
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: out of media Days, are you thinking Ohio State has
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: spent their money? Well, Oregon is going to be the
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: team to beat. Give me your prediction, because I think
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: this is the most interesting conference.
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: Well, yeah, Oregon and Ohio State are probably going to
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: be a pick in Eugene when they play each other.
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: But Oregon is the better team by far.
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: I think they have a better quarterback because you know,
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: Bill Howard can't throw it past twenty yards, plus he's
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: not really durable. Dylan Gabriel is much better quarterback. But
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: there is a huge separation at the skill positions between
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: these two teams. Plus, Dan Lanning has been pulling trench
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: players for years, which Mario Christavall already was up to Eugene,
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: they can compete at an sec level. Dan Lanning has
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: taken everything he learned from Kirby Smart to Georgia and
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: applied it to Oregon. Just get the kids up there
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: to see how beautiful that that whole area of the
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: country it is. Kids are sticking around Oregon, I believe
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: is the more disciplined team, the more talented team, the
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: better coach team, They're not going to have any locker
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: room problems. I think Ohio State will. So I'm definitely
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: quack quack on the Ducks this year.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: Stuck.
• 17:50
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm much high on Ohio State. In colin I mean,
• 17:52
  Speaker 5: the defense is absolutely loaded. That's what I think is
• 17:56
  Speaker 5: going to carry this team. I mean, just the experience
• 17:58
  Speaker 5: and talent that they have and led by one of
• 18:01
  Speaker 5: the better coordinators in all of college football. I think
• 18:05
  Speaker 5: there is there are some questions act quarterback, but I
• 18:07
  Speaker 5: think they've upgraded. That's kind of the one major question
• 18:11
  Speaker 5: mark for me on this team is just like what
• 18:14
  Speaker 5: is the ceiling of their quarterback position? But to me,
• 18:18
  Speaker 5: what's interesting is there's three clear cut teams in that
• 18:22
  Speaker 5: tier one that you mentioned in Georgia, Ohio State, and Oregon.
• 18:26
  Speaker 5: And I think in this new landscape of college football,
• 18:30
  Speaker 5: I do think that there's you know, it's it's harder
• 18:33
  Speaker 5: to build a team that is so much more dominant
• 18:36
  Speaker 5: than you know, all the other teams, because you're going
• 18:39
  Speaker 5: to have some guys that lead to go play at
• 18:41
  Speaker 5: some other Power five schools. But I'm I'm curious to
• 18:45
  Speaker 5: see who can make that leap and potentially jump up
• 18:49
  Speaker 5: into that Tier one. A team I have my questions
• 18:54
  Speaker 5: about in Miami has a ton of talent. They would
• 18:57
  Speaker 5: be the team from the ACC that has the ceiling.
• 19:00
  Speaker 5: Penn State James Franklin can't win a big game, but
• 19:02
  Speaker 5: I can Drew Aller take the next step with a
• 19:04
  Speaker 5: fantastic offensive coordinator higher and Eddie Cole and Nicky from Kansas,
• 19:09
  Speaker 5: that offense should look a lot better. You know the
• 19:12
  Speaker 5: defense is going to be good. So there's that second
• 19:16
  Speaker 5: tier who's gonna kind of step up? And you know
• 19:19
  Speaker 5: there's obviously some teams in the SEC that are in
• 19:22
  Speaker 5: the mix. But you know, to go back to your
• 19:24
  Speaker 5: original question, Yeah, this is an SEC and Big ten
• 19:28
  Speaker 5: conversation for the national title.
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: And I mean, speaking of Penn State, that Week one
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: West Virginia that feels like it's going to sign a
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: lot of their season. I mean a little fun fact
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: with me, I am a dropout of WU, so I
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: do I do pull for w and this week one matchup.
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: But speaking of these playoff teams, guys, am I crazy? Like?
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: Is is Bama really minus one fifteen to make the playoffs?
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: Of the twelve teams? Are they really not one of
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: the twelve that are gonna make? I feel like it's
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: not too much as being put on Nick Stamen leaving.
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: I don't think enough respects being paid to the coach
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: that's walking into this team. Like, to me, this is
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: a man that has exceeded all expectations whole career and
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: now he's coming from Washington down Alabama. Am I missing
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: them work here? Stuck? Or is it probably? Are they
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: properly priced at minus one fifteen to be making the playoffs?
• 20:14
  Speaker 5: He said he dropped out of WB. Did they even
• 20:16
  Speaker 5: notice there in Morgantown? If you don't show up the class, we.
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: Call that graduating. When you drop out of w we
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: call your graduating.
• 20:23
  Speaker 5: So yeah, I mean, look, Alabama. Colin has hotter takes
• 20:26
  Speaker 5: on Alabama than me. I think they're a tad overvalued.
• 20:30
  Speaker 5: I think they should be like just slightly plus money.
• 20:33
  Speaker 5: But I love the hire. They didn't lose as much
• 20:36
  Speaker 5: the portal as I thought they would. They're still going
• 20:39
  Speaker 5: to be in the mix. But Colin I think as
• 20:40
  Speaker 5: Hotter takes on Alabama.
• 20:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean before I get to Alabama, I just
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: have to say the State of Arkansas's moonshine is better
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: than West Virginia's moonshine.
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: Just you know, sampling that in my life. Where's mentany
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: you from West Virginia?
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: It's true Alabama to me, this is a perfect marriage
• 20:56
  Speaker 4: of a head coach and a quarterback. You have Caitlin
• 20:59
  Speaker 4: de Borr, who is somewhere around one hundred and ten
• 21:01
  Speaker 4: and twelve lifetime record wherever he's been. And what you're
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: doing is you're taking what he does from an offensive perspective.
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: Runs all of these crazy routes and looks for deep
• 21:10
  Speaker 4: shots and explosive plays. He's just really good at stretching
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: the field, spacing it out. And who's his quarterback, Jalen Milroe.
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: I can't get over these numbers from Jalen Milroe hit
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: about twenty six big time throws over twenty yards, zero
• 21:24
  Speaker 4: turnover worthy plays on throws over twenty yards. It is
• 21:27
  Speaker 4: insane what Jalen Milroe can do from a deep ball perspective.
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: You just go back and think about that Iron Bowl
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: game that saved their entire season, got him into the playoff.
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: So I love Alabama from the perspective. I think that
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: they can win the SEC. I think they're much better
• 21:39
  Speaker 4: than a lot of people are predicting. They think that
• 21:41
  Speaker 4: Saban was out, a couple transfers left. Listen, I think
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: they're not any worse than what they were last year.
• 21:47
  Speaker 4: I think Jalen Milro is going to be improved. And
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: I think kayalend Moore is a great head coach for
• 21:50
  Speaker 4: his skill set.
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: So I love Alabama.
• 21:53
  Speaker 5: Just when I thought Colin couldn't become more of a homer.
• 21:55
  Speaker 5: Before we come on to the show, he says, so
• 21:57
  Speaker 5: argus al basketball is winning the national title. One of
• 22:00
  Speaker 5: his favorite win totals is Arkansas college football. Every year
• 22:03
  Speaker 5: he says, Arkansas College baseball, it's going to win the
• 22:05
  Speaker 5: College World Series and they never do. And now he's
• 22:08
  Speaker 5: trying to claim that Arkansas has the best moonshine in
• 22:11
  Speaker 5: the United States. Yeah, better than the states in Appalachia.
• 22:17
  Speaker 5: I mean that the backwoods there where. That's like tennis Tennessee, Virginia, Kentucky,
• 22:23
  Speaker 5: West Virginia, North Carolina. Come on, now, you're cleaning moonshine
• 22:26
  Speaker 5: in Arkansas.
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: Ours is made in the bathtub, not in the mountains.
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: It's better I listen. One year, I went down to Oxford,
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: Mississippi for an ole Miss football game, and I stayed
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: with my buddy Right Thompson, who is a writer for ESPN.
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: There is nobody more Southern who drips the Southern charm
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: ethos culture than Right. It is like stepping back in time.
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: We went to a party with one of Wright's friends.
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: He does this show on the SEC Network that is
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: all about food and Southern culture with a guy named
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: John t Edge. Was John t Edge's house. He had
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: a coconut moonshine. All I know is I can vaguely
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: remember waking up the next day in a pile of drool,
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: with one leg on the floor, one half my body
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: on the couch, and I think my buddy had co
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: opted my Twitter feed and was sending dms to people
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: we went to high school with. That's all I remember.
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: When we talk about moonshine, and by the way, I
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: will say it was delicious coconut moonshine.
• 23:48
  Speaker 5: Try it.
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: Speaking of Ole Miss, guys, Ole Miss, all of a sudden,
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: everybody was talking about you watch college game day Lean
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: and Nick saban is even saying nice things Lane Kiffen
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: and that they've got a really good team. Is this
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: the year? I think they're what sixth in the AP
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: rank right now? Is this the year that Ole Miss
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: can actually be relevant beyond October? Is Ole Miss a
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: playoff team? Stuck? I'll start with you.
• 24:16
  Speaker 5: I yeah, they have the potential to. I mean, what
• 24:20
  Speaker 5: they're doing in the portal, it's going to increase the variance.
• 24:22
  Speaker 5: And that's one thing that is going to be difficult
• 24:25
  Speaker 5: for all betters now even more College football Week one.
• 24:29
  Speaker 5: There's always a ton of variants, but even more so
• 24:32
  Speaker 5: now with all of the roster turnover, the coaching turnover,
• 24:35
  Speaker 5: the transfer portal. Now you have these lower level teams
• 24:37
  Speaker 5: that are reaching into fcs, gw CO ranks. Like mix
• 24:40
  Speaker 5: the player evaluation and team evaluation much more difficult to
• 24:44
  Speaker 5: you know, especially if you're a new better Just always
• 24:47
  Speaker 5: tread lightly knowing that because the variance is just through
• 24:50
  Speaker 5: the roof. Oh Mis embodies that. Just the the guys
• 24:54
  Speaker 5: that they bring in from the portal, they have the
• 24:56
  Speaker 5: best portal class in country. Sup From a talent perspective,
• 25:00
  Speaker 5: they're right there. They're building up their trenches too. That's
• 25:02
  Speaker 5: what's really held them back and kind of kept them
• 25:05
  Speaker 5: from that upper echelon and the SEC a step behind
• 25:09
  Speaker 5: the Georgia's and Alabamas. But they're getting closer and they're
• 25:11
  Speaker 5: closing the gap. But they're much more well coached on
• 25:15
  Speaker 5: the defensive side of the ball as well. But the
• 25:17
  Speaker 5: question is how do all these pieces fit together?
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: Do they gel?
• 25:21
  Speaker 5: Do they mesh? A couple of years ago when ole
• 25:23
  Speaker 5: Miss at the portal didn't work as well as last year,
• 25:25
  Speaker 5: and last year, look, it was a really successful season,
• 25:28
  Speaker 5: but they did get pretty fortunate in a lot of
• 25:30
  Speaker 5: close games. But this team high variance team. So I
• 25:33
  Speaker 5: think instead of betting them to make the college football Playoff,
• 25:37
  Speaker 5: I would look more on the tails to bet ole
• 25:40
  Speaker 5: Miss because the potential is there, but there's questions how
• 25:44
  Speaker 5: does it come together? What does it look like? And
• 25:46
  Speaker 5: there are many teams in college football that are like that.
• 25:51
  Speaker 5: Going into this year makes handicapping Week one much more difficult,
• 25:55
  Speaker 5: increases the variance exponentially, But yes, is definitely a player.
• 26:02
  Speaker 4: Listen, I've said this a billion times the transfer portal.
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: Just because you win it doesn't mean you're winning championships.
• 26:07
  Speaker 4: LSU wanted with Jayden and Daniels a couple of years ago.
• 26:09
  Speaker 4: They didn't win this as a championship. Caleb Williams and
• 26:12
  Speaker 4: Lincoln Riley won the portal a couple of years ago
• 26:14
  Speaker 4: with USC, they didn't make it to the Collegeurble playoff.
• 26:16
  Speaker 4: It doesn't win championships automatically. Like Old Miss still had
• 26:20
  Speaker 4: a fifty burger spotted on them by Georgia last year
• 26:22
  Speaker 4: and lost by thirty five.
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: That is a massive gap.
• 26:24
  Speaker 4: And when you go and look in that game, it
• 26:26
  Speaker 4: was their star right tackle that was injured and Olemiss
• 26:29
  Speaker 4: just could not pull outside zone. They couldn't get any
• 26:31
  Speaker 4: protection for Jackson Dart. I do like ole Miss in general.
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: Jackson Dart had major spikes in his efficiency in his
• 26:38
  Speaker 4: passing last year, especially in mid range. So I do
• 26:41
  Speaker 4: like them as a team. But at the same time,
• 26:43
  Speaker 4: Stuck is right like you have to build trench dep
• 26:46
  Speaker 4: you have to have the best players, and I'm just
• 26:48
  Speaker 4: not sure they are there to rattle off three or
• 26:51
  Speaker 4: four wins in a row because what Ole Miss is
• 26:52
  Speaker 4: right now with all these wins in the portal, they're
• 26:54
  Speaker 4: essentially an Olympic basketball team full of NBA stars that
• 26:58
  Speaker 4: don't play together during the season.
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: That's exactly what all miss is.
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: All right, So you just mentioned Florida State. Of course
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: they go out. They lose in the last second week
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: one to Georgia Tech. Florida State since last year has
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: become one of those programs that is just so polarizing
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: because of what happened with the BCS or the College
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: Football Playoff and not making the Final Four and all
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. Colin, Now that they've lost, do
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: you feel like they are worthy of the hate and
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: ridicule that they get.
• 27:35
  Speaker 4: They deserve it, but they can correct it. They missed
• 27:37
  Speaker 4: eleven tackles in that game. You don't want double digit
• 27:40
  Speaker 4: missed tackles in a game. I know it was wet,
• 27:41
  Speaker 4: but Georgia Tech didn't have those problems missing tackles. I
• 27:44
  Speaker 4: think you know, the secondary took really bad angles. They
• 27:47
  Speaker 4: were not a bad tackling unit last year.
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: They just got whooped.
• 27:51
  Speaker 4: And the handicap on the game was that Florida State
• 27:54
  Speaker 4: is so much more experienced and talented in the trench,
• 27:56
  Speaker 4: especially on the offensive line. They should just bulldoze over
• 27:59
  Speaker 4: Georgia Tech. Drive seven plays seventy five yards. It looked
• 28:03
  Speaker 4: exactly like that, and then I don't know what happened.
• 28:05
  Speaker 4: I don't know who pulled the plug on the electricity.
• 28:07
  Speaker 4: Because Florida State never rebounded after that first drive. They
• 28:10
  Speaker 4: got whooped at the point of attack. I think that
• 28:12
  Speaker 4: goes to your head. Coach brit Key for Georgia Tech
• 28:14
  Speaker 4: is a former offensive lineman. He's just gritty grinding Florida State. Sorry,
• 28:20
  Speaker 4: you're soft. And you know, if you actually, if you
• 28:23
  Speaker 4: behave like this with misstackles and you can't, you know,
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: you take bad angles in the secondary, you're gonna get
• 28:27
  Speaker 4: beat two or three more times.
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: So they deserve to hate.
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: But they have do they do have issues that can
• 28:32
  Speaker 4: be corrected, not a quarterback correct.
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a classic case of week week zero. Right,
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: Like this team just flew twelve hours from Florida to
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: Ireland and they didn't get off the plane. It felt
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: like what you guys just said that first drive and
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: they kind of fell apart. Now because of their falling
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: apart here, what do you think stuck? Is this Clemson's
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: time to shine here? This is I hate Clemson. I
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: hate their head coach, I hate everything about them. Is
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: this now their time to run this division again where
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: it's like, Okay, you know, the people think that Clemson's
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: kind of messed up here because its not really embracing
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: the whole transfer portal. Are they still the team to
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: beat her? Are they kind of left for dead here?
• 29:13
  Speaker 5: Yeah? I think this is like a make or break
• 29:16
  Speaker 5: here for Dabo, and I think it might start to
• 29:18
  Speaker 5: get more difficult for Clemson to keep up. But they
• 29:21
  Speaker 5: still have a really talented team. It's year two of
• 29:23
  Speaker 5: their coordinator, like the post type of Garrett Riley who
• 29:25
  Speaker 5: came over from TCU, year two of Kate Klubnick got
• 29:28
  Speaker 5: a really good offensive line coach that they brought in.
• 29:31
  Speaker 5: I think the offensive line will be better. Centers still
• 29:33
  Speaker 5: a big question mark. The defense, you know, is always
• 29:35
  Speaker 5: gonna be good. It's developed well. They played more freshman
• 29:38
  Speaker 5: than any team in the country last year. I bet
• 29:41
  Speaker 5: Clemson to win the ACC. I got them to go
• 29:43
  Speaker 5: to the College Ball Playoff. They're definitely falling a step behind.
• 29:46
  Speaker 5: I don't think they have like national title ceiling right,
• 29:48
  Speaker 5: but I do like them to win the ACC. They
• 29:50
  Speaker 5: are now favorites to win the ACC after what Florida
• 29:54
  Speaker 5: State did last week. Florida State. They just don't have
• 29:55
  Speaker 5: to say, don't have the ceiling because their quarterback play
• 29:57
  Speaker 5: and the wide receiver plays underwhelming too. If you can
• 29:59
  Speaker 5: stop the on force DJU to throw it, especially in
• 30:02
  Speaker 5: known passing downs. I don't think they have the solutions there,
• 30:06
  Speaker 5: and they couldn't. Even their strength is supposed to be
• 30:09
  Speaker 5: the run game.
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: The off it's fine.
• 30:09
  Speaker 5: They couldn't do that against Georgia Tech. Well, that's extremely problematic.
• 30:14
  Speaker 5: And then this overhyped defensive line was not great. The
• 30:17
  Speaker 5: linebackers were bad. So yeah, I think Florida State might
• 30:20
  Speaker 5: be in trouble, although I might buy them if this
• 30:22
  Speaker 5: line keeps going down against Boston College in Week one.
• 30:24
  Speaker 5: But yeah, I do think Clempson's gonna win the ACC
• 30:26
  Speaker 5: this year. I think it's a buy on them. A
• 30:30
  Speaker 5: cell on Florida State was part of that as well,
• 30:32
  Speaker 5: which we saw last Monday. Value has kind of been
• 30:35
  Speaker 5: sucked out of the number. But I do think Clemson
• 30:38
  Speaker 5: is eventually going to come out on top in the ACC.
• 30:42
  Speaker 5: But you look at what I think you mentioned all
• 30:43
  Speaker 5: missing the transfer portal, and Colin alluded to this point.
• 30:46
  Speaker 5: I think the ideal national title contender in the upper
• 30:49
  Speaker 5: elite echelon. You know what you're seeing with teams like Georgia,
• 30:55
  Speaker 5: like Oregon, like Ohio State, et cetera, is you have
• 30:59
  Speaker 5: really good recording classes, you have really good player development, right,
• 31:02
  Speaker 5: and then you supplement where your holes are after NFL graduation,
• 31:08
  Speaker 5: especially if you had like one position with the transfer portal, Right,
• 31:11
  Speaker 5: that's kind of the ideal formula to reach that elite tier.
• 31:15
  Speaker 5: Ole Miss is going the extreme transfer portal. We're out Clemson.
• 31:20
  Speaker 5: Where I think that there's just a major deficiency right
• 31:23
  Speaker 5: now is they're not addressing those team needs, like go
• 31:27
  Speaker 5: out and get a center, go out and get a
• 31:30
  Speaker 5: proven wide receiver, commodity, maybe add some help in the secondary.
• 31:34
  Speaker 5: In the portal, three or four guys that were starters, right,
• 31:37
  Speaker 5: and then all of a sudden your roster becomes elevated.
• 31:40
  Speaker 5: It was only Clemson and the service academies which can't
• 31:44
  Speaker 5: that didn't have an addition from the transfer portal. So
• 31:47
  Speaker 5: I do like Clemson in the ACC, but I don't
• 31:50
  Speaker 5: think that they have that ceiling to win a national title.
• 31:54
  Speaker 5: And part of that is they're not taking advantage of
• 31:57
  Speaker 5: the portal to fill some of those roster whole depth
• 32:01
  Speaker 5: and just elevating the overall talent profile of their team.
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: You mentioned Florida's Day, you mentioned BC Week one, huge slate.
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: It's the only weekend of the year. It feels like,
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: including the playoffs, where college football is going to get
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: every football fans attention because they are going Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday,
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: all day, every day, five days. We got college football
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: Thursday Friday. Colin, give me your picks.
• 32:40
  Speaker 4: We're going to take you and C on the money
• 32:41
  Speaker 4: line over Minnesota. There's some injury information starting to leak
• 32:44
  Speaker 4: out with Minnesota. Specifically, they're running back Darius Taylor might
• 32:47
  Speaker 4: not be available. What is Minnesota's offense running the ball
• 32:50
  Speaker 4: like seventy percent of the time like a service academy.
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: So you know what that's going to do.
• 32:54
  Speaker 4: Their injuries are going to put their new quarterback at
• 32:56
  Speaker 4: New Hampshire's Max Brosmer under the spotlight to try and
• 32:59
  Speaker 4: do everything. If you go and break down his numbers
• 33:02
  Speaker 4: at New Hampshire, yes, I did only ten four years
• 33:06
  Speaker 4: at New Hampshire. Only ten percent of his passes go
• 33:08
  Speaker 4: beyond twenty yards. He is a dink and dunk quarterback
• 33:11
  Speaker 4: and a Minnesota offense that has no explosiveness whatsoever with
• 33:15
  Speaker 4: a brand new defensive coordinator. Now on the other side
• 33:17
  Speaker 4: of the ball, you got O Maria and Hampton. You guys, Simon, Chad,
• 33:20
  Speaker 4: you guys.
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: Will be talking about him in the NFL often. He
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: is that good. So I love North Carolina Opening Night
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: Thursday Night again.
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: Listen to Colin and Stuck in the BBOC pods, watch
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: him on the BBOC YouTube channel. Listen to them and
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: watch them on the BBOC Live show on Saturday mornings
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: when they preview and make picks for all the games.
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: Surprise no one that Colin has broken down the film
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: on Minnesota's transfer quarterback from UNH. This is a guy
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: who This past Saturday, our second most read story on
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: actionnetwork dot com was his write up of Montana ste
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: and it's historic spread against New Mexico, a game that
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: Montana State ultimately won. Colin goes deep, deep, deep into
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: the well on college football, Stuck, do you have a favorite?
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: I'm just talking Thursday Friday. Simon's going to ask you
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: about Saturday. I just want Thursday Friday.
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 34:21
  Speaker 5: I iolate it with Michigan State neat under two touchdowns,
• 34:24
  Speaker 5: but I very low on this FAU team, who I
• 34:29
  Speaker 5: think wants to go faster, which is good if you
• 34:31
  Speaker 5: want to better favorite more possessions. But they're starting quarterback
• 34:34
  Speaker 5: Cam Fancher, not a fan of. Don't think he can
• 34:37
  Speaker 5: take advantage of Michigan State secondary, which is really where
• 34:41
  Speaker 5: the biggest questions are on that roster. You know, Michigan
• 34:45
  Speaker 5: State new head coach Jonathan Smith, I'm a huge fan of,
• 34:48
  Speaker 5: comes in from Oregon State, brings with him his very
• 34:52
  Speaker 5: talented quarterback eight and Chiles his center, his tight end,
• 34:56
  Speaker 5: his offensive coordinator's offensive line. Coach still questions a that
• 35:00
  Speaker 5: offensive line, but I do think that Michigan State will
• 35:04
  Speaker 5: be able to run it on FAU. And look, there's
• 35:06
  Speaker 5: been a lot of negativity around this Michigan State program.
• 35:11
  Speaker 5: Their fans are starving for just like some optimism. So
• 35:15
  Speaker 5: I think that home opener against FAU, they want to
• 35:18
  Speaker 5: put up a number here and I'm just not buying
• 35:22
  Speaker 5: what FAU is selling this year. That a lot of
• 35:24
  Speaker 5: rosters turn over, a lot of questions, and I just
• 35:26
  Speaker 5: don't trust the quarterback to really take advantage of Michigan State.
• 35:32
  Speaker 5: Don't really love the Thursday and Friday slate. Other than
• 35:35
  Speaker 5: that looking at that UNC Minnesota game, waiting on some
• 35:37
  Speaker 5: injury info. The total ticked up today, might potentially look
• 35:41
  Speaker 5: at the under there over fifty one. Minnesota is really slow.
• 35:46
  Speaker 5: They did upgrade a quarterback, I think with Brossner, but
• 35:48
  Speaker 5: he's making the jump from SCS to FBS. There were
• 35:50
  Speaker 5: a lot of short passes in FCS. Was successful doing so,
• 35:54
  Speaker 5: but they just wants to run the ball. Belieave the
• 35:56
  Speaker 5: clock and UNC you're going to use two quarterbacks. Lactually
• 36:00
  Speaker 5: these two teams played thirty one to fourteen. I think
• 36:02
  Speaker 5: didn't go over this number. Number was about the same.
• 36:04
  Speaker 5: They Drake May who threw for four hundred yards and
• 36:07
  Speaker 5: took advantage of that Minnesota secondary. I'm not sure the
• 36:10
  Speaker 5: UNC two QB system in a rebuilt offensive line can
• 36:14
  Speaker 5: take advantage of the Minnesota secondary. I kind of like
• 36:18
  Speaker 5: their front to shut down Hampton they're running back. So
• 36:22
  Speaker 5: a lot of unservedy in this game was so much new.
• 36:26
  Speaker 5: You know, there's injury questions, no depth charts, and so
• 36:30
  Speaker 5: it's it's an interesting game. But one thing to keep
• 36:33
  Speaker 5: in mind is we saw the pace go down last
• 36:38
  Speaker 5: week for certain teams using the helmet communications, so that's
• 36:42
  Speaker 5: something to keep in mind plays just taking longer as
• 36:45
  Speaker 5: quarterbacks adjust. You saw this lot of Haines King and
• 36:48
  Speaker 5: Georgia Tech. You might see that more frequently, especially early
• 36:53
  Speaker 5: on in the season. Both teams also have new defensive coordinators.
• 36:56
  Speaker 5: I think unc upgraded in that department with Jeff Collins.
• 36:59
  Speaker 5: Both Tuns try to simplify what they do, which I
• 37:01
  Speaker 5: think could limit explosives, which are issues for both these
• 37:04
  Speaker 5: last year. So looking at the under there and in
• 37:06
  Speaker 5: North dakot to State Colorado is a really interesting game.
• 37:09
  Speaker 5: North Dakota State has some injuries that I'm monitoring, but
• 37:11
  Speaker 5: there's a lot of uncertainty the week one new rosters, injuries,
• 37:16
  Speaker 5: potential suspensions, new staffs. It's what makes I just can't
• 37:19
  Speaker 5: wait to see these games, dive into what I saw
• 37:23
  Speaker 5: and start the journey of the twenty twenty four college
• 37:26
  Speaker 5: football betting season.
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: Listen, if Colorado loses, I'm here in rumors that Dion
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: is going to be so upset and offended he's going
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: to ban anybody from the state of North Dakota from
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: entering the state of Colorado. That's how much power he has,
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: and that's how sensitive Dean Sanders apparently is Simon.
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I can't wait for Dian to be coaching the
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: Cowboys next year. Chad, no joke, So I mean, I'm
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: just kidding you talk about it's gonna be fired up stuck.
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: So we'll go to Colin here for Saturday. Who we betting?
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: Obviously going West Virginia money line against benn State. I
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: think they're up to what eight and a half as
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: a dog. I mean in Morgantown you can still get
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: two rum and cokes for four dollars. I mean it's
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: crazy right now there the Morgantown and making us an
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: eight and a half dog? Who are we going with
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: on Saturday? Con Like, who's jumping out to you? Obviously
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: the dogs ruled Week zero? Do we see that same
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: trend continue here in Week one? Well, in the award.
• 38:25
  Speaker 4: Winning Action Network app, you can follow me and see that.
• 38:28
  Speaker 4: An hour ago, I played a nice, nice fat bet
• 38:31
  Speaker 4: on Clemson plus seven and a half in the first
• 38:34
  Speaker 4: half against Georgia. And there's a lot of suspensions here
• 38:37
  Speaker 4: coming for Georgia. There's been some DUIs, there's been some
• 38:39
  Speaker 4: reckless driving, there's some charges going on on both sides
• 38:42
  Speaker 4: of the ball with a linebacker more importantly, they're running
• 38:44
  Speaker 4: back Trevor et And who comes in from Florida. And
• 38:47
  Speaker 4: then in that running back depth start for Georgia, they're
• 38:49
  Speaker 4: also missing one of their best running backs and Rob Robinson,
• 38:53
  Speaker 4: so he's got a toe injury that he had to
• 38:54
  Speaker 4: have certain surgery on. So for Georgia, this is going
• 38:56
  Speaker 4: to turn into a complete one dimensional passing attack, which
• 38:59
  Speaker 4: everything bad about Georgia. It's like they have the best
• 39:01
  Speaker 4: recruits in the nation, like they're gonna be able to backfill,
• 39:04
  Speaker 4: but the depth is a concern there. The depth on
• 39:06
  Speaker 4: the defensive line is actually a concern too. They took
• 39:08
  Speaker 4: mckel Williams, with their best player on defense, and pushed
• 39:10
  Speaker 4: him out to outside linebacker. They're having injury situations on
• 39:13
  Speaker 4: the defensive tackle in the interior that Clemson can absolutely
• 39:17
  Speaker 4: mul them with. With Phil Maffa and that offensive line,
• 39:20
  Speaker 4: they have been unbelievable. And I'll say this about kid
• 39:22
  Speaker 4: club Nick because he costs Stucky and.
• 39:24
  Speaker 3: I a lot of money over the years.
• 39:26
  Speaker 4: But last year, after Week eight against Miami, something flipped
• 39:30
  Speaker 4: in Garrett Riley's offense. He had seventeen turnover worth he
• 39:33
  Speaker 4: plays last year, only four of them in the last
• 39:35
  Speaker 4: five weeks. He I mean, they just absolutely manhandled everybody club.
• 39:39
  Speaker 4: Nick was a different quarterback the last five games of
• 39:42
  Speaker 4: last year. I think he's grass Riley's offense. To me,
• 39:46
  Speaker 4: Georgia has too many questions coming into this game. Suspensions
• 39:48
  Speaker 4: are coming, which will move the line. I'm acting now
• 39:50
  Speaker 4: and taking Clemson plus seven and a half because they
• 39:52
  Speaker 4: feel completely disrespected and they shouldn't be with the talent
• 39:55
  Speaker 4: they have. I agree with Stuck on the depth problem
• 39:57
  Speaker 4: that will show up in the playoff later in the year,
• 39:59
  Speaker 4: but not in game one.
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: What do you think Stuck for Saturday.
• 40:03
  Speaker 5: I've been saying all summer. I love A and M
• 40:05
  Speaker 5: against Notre Dame. It's out to three now not as
• 40:09
  Speaker 5: much value, but I would still I don't wait. There
• 40:12
  Speaker 5: might be some buyback on Notre Dame, but Notre Dame's
• 40:14
  Speaker 5: offensive line situation is dire. I really love the upgrade
• 40:17
  Speaker 5: at coaching for Texas A and M. Bringing in Mike
• 40:20
  Speaker 5: Yalco for Jimbo Fisher couldna be a much more serious team.
• 40:23
  Speaker 5: His team still has a ton of talent, They've had
• 40:25
  Speaker 5: a ton of talent over the past couple of years,
• 40:27
  Speaker 5: but the coaching I think really held them back. Really
• 40:29
  Speaker 5: fascinating matchup in this game is Notre Dame's quarterback Riley
• 40:34
  Speaker 5: Leonard taking on Mike Yalco. They were at Duke last year.
• 40:38
  Speaker 5: A lot of talk about who does that give the
• 40:41
  Speaker 5: edge to the quarterback or the coach that knew him?
• 40:44
  Speaker 5: Helco and his presser obviously he said this, but he
• 40:46
  Speaker 5: said it's actually Leonard because he's used to seeing his defenses,
• 40:49
  Speaker 5: but he also knows his strengths and weaknesses. But Notre Dame,
• 40:52
  Speaker 5: you know, losing two tackles to the NFL. They've lost
• 40:55
  Speaker 5: their projected starting left tackle to an injury. It's going
• 40:58
  Speaker 5: to be starting all underclassmen on that offensive line. That's
• 41:03
  Speaker 5: a problem, especially in college station and against the defensive
• 41:06
  Speaker 5: line that had a lot of turner. If they still
• 41:07
  Speaker 5: have all dudes who could play on Sunday up there.
• 41:10
  Speaker 5: So yeah, I like A and M way off the radar.
• 41:13
  Speaker 5: I'll do this for our producer Matt Mitchell, since I
• 41:17
  Speaker 5: correct them earlier. Eat them up cats if you want
• 41:19
  Speaker 5: to go way off. If you want to go way
• 41:21
  Speaker 5: off the radar and bet a group of five game
• 41:27
  Speaker 5: Sam Houston State plus catching double digits against Rice. I
• 41:32
  Speaker 5: think Rice is really going to miss McCaffrey. They're not
• 41:35
  Speaker 5: a team that I liked to back as a bigger
• 41:37
  Speaker 5: favorite with the way that they play. Sam Houston State
• 41:40
  Speaker 5: upgraded at quarterback, and it was a team that transitioned
• 41:44
  Speaker 5: to FBS last year, really struggled early, started to figure
• 41:47
  Speaker 5: it out come on late. They're very well coached. I
• 41:50
  Speaker 5: like them catching double digits against Rice in a All
• 41:55
  Speaker 5: Texas matchup. So puttle off the radar there.
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: Eat them up. Cats. Ooh, can work categories. I want
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: to cover first Heisman. We mentioned Jackson Dart, who has
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: the most Damon runyonesque name in all of college football,
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: absolutely perfect at Ole Miss. When you guys survey the field,
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: where is the Heisman value? Colin your first I'm.
• 42:22
  Speaker 3: Gonna go Miller Moss at USC.
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: Listen.
• 42:25
  Speaker 4: I think if there's one team that's sitting around the
• 42:26
  Speaker 4: six and a half seven win range that can absolutely
• 42:29
  Speaker 4: go over that and they're ceilings around nine or ten wins,
• 42:31
  Speaker 4: it's going to be USC. I love, and I know
• 42:33
  Speaker 4: we're talking Heisman, but follow me here. The higher of
• 42:36
  Speaker 4: Danton Lynn as their defensive coordinator is going to get
• 42:39
  Speaker 4: a lot more stops. It's going to make a lot
• 42:41
  Speaker 4: better USC defense, which is going to give more possessions
• 42:43
  Speaker 4: to the offense. Miller Moss was perfect in the Holiday
• 42:46
  Speaker 4: Bowl three hundred and seventy two yards six touchdowns against
• 42:49
  Speaker 4: a good Louisville defense, and now he's got Maybe the
• 42:52
  Speaker 4: most explosive explosive receiver in college football was zachar Uriah
• 42:55
  Speaker 4: Branch in a Lincoln Riley offense. If USC can get
• 42:58
  Speaker 4: to nine wins, which I think is possible, he's in
• 43:01
  Speaker 4: the conversation. He's forty fifty to one out there, so
• 43:03
  Speaker 4: that I wanted to go long shot, not something short,
• 43:05
  Speaker 4: so that that.
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: Would be my pick.
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: Stuck well.
• 43:08
  Speaker 5: As one of the seven thousand esteemed Heisman voters, I
• 43:12
  Speaker 5: do not bet on the Heisman. Not a market that
• 43:14
  Speaker 5: I spent a lot of time on. I don't think
• 43:16
  Speaker 5: there's a ton of value. Was a market that I
• 43:18
  Speaker 5: think you used to have more value in the past.
• 43:20
  Speaker 5: If you wanted a long shot to look at maybe
• 43:23
  Speaker 5: a guy I mentioned earlier, Drew Aller, and you're betting
• 43:25
  Speaker 5: on Cotal Nikki just you know, taking that offense to
• 43:28
  Speaker 5: the next level and al or taking that next step.
• 43:30
  Speaker 5: Guy who has all the talent can make all the throws. Now,
• 43:33
  Speaker 5: he's just going to have an offense that has made
• 43:35
  Speaker 5: so easy for him, and it's a team with upside
• 43:37
  Speaker 5: that should get to the college football Playoff. So you know,
• 43:41
  Speaker 5: if you're looking in the long shot tear, I think
• 43:44
  Speaker 5: he's fifty to one ish if you wanted to throw
• 43:46
  Speaker 5: some couch change on it, but not a market.
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: I really spend time on Drew Raller, Penn State quarterback.
• 43:50
  Speaker 2: By the way, all right, stuck, So you got a
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: favorite future for us? Then for the whole college football season,
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: like what you one that really jumps out through that
• 43:57
  Speaker 2: really haven't a given out or you know our fans
• 43:59
  Speaker 2: could up on. At this point, I'm going to.
• 44:01
  Speaker 5: Be selfish and I'm going to promote my Mac manifesto,
• 44:06
  Speaker 5: which I have time on every year.
• 44:08
  Speaker 2: How beautiful is maction? How beautiful is maction? Oh man,
• 44:12
  Speaker 2: just when we thought we had peak maction.
• 44:15
  Speaker 5: So go check that out, Bowling Green. I go through
• 44:18
  Speaker 5: every team. All the depth charts came out today. I
• 44:20
  Speaker 5: go through again and update all of the notes on offense, defense,
• 44:23
  Speaker 5: special teams based on the depth charts. Spend a lot
• 44:27
  Speaker 5: of time on. It's a really good resource just to
• 44:29
  Speaker 5: update yourself on the MAC. I'll do it again in
• 44:31
  Speaker 5: the mid season before midweek maction returns. But I like
• 44:35
  Speaker 5: bowling green to win the MAC, and I go really
• 44:41
  Speaker 5: in depth in the manifesto, so I'll tease that check
• 44:43
  Speaker 5: it out.
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: Well, you guys got to forgive me.
• 44:46
  Speaker 3: You see, bawling for money. It's my only vice.
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: Colan.
• 44:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I want to percent agree with that.
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: I love that pick.
• 44:53
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna go with a win total. I'm gonna go
• 44:54
  Speaker 4: off the beaten path here. Because we talked about so
• 44:57
  Speaker 4: much of this on our last BBOC podcast, but I
• 44:59
  Speaker 4: did not mention San Diego State under five and a half.
• 45:02
  Speaker 4: If you guys remember a little mac football on Tuesday nights,
• 45:05
  Speaker 4: Kent State used to be called flash Fast. Well that coach,
• 45:08
  Speaker 4: Sewn Lewis went to Colorado last year, was demoted mid
• 45:10
  Speaker 4: season from his offensive coordinator position. Now he's kind of
• 45:14
  Speaker 4: found his way at San Diego State. He has the
• 45:16
  Speaker 4: worst experience numbers on both sides of the ball. But
• 45:20
  Speaker 4: I talked to Sean Lewis at media day at Mountain
• 45:22
  Speaker 4: West Media Day in Las Vegas.
• 45:23
  Speaker 3: Any ding day, Yeah, we catch your tickets. He told
• 45:27
  Speaker 3: me it doesn't.
